B “In response to growing concerns about food deserts, obesity rates among children, the loss of prime agricultural lands, a dwindling farmer population, and environmental problems such as soil erosion and water contamination, more and more towns, cities, regions, and states are forming food policy councils (FPCs).” (American Planning Association)

C “Food Policy Councils work across sectors, engaging with government policy and programs, grassroots/non-profit projects, local businesses and food workers.

Written milestones in this process can be charters, actions plans or full strategies; however an UFS does not directly imply a strategic document.” (Foodlinks)
